COIN-WRAPPING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 21, 1910.

Application filed August 6, 1909. Serial No. 511,558.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEANDER E. AYRES, J r., a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of NewJersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Coin-WrappingDevices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a device for wrapping coins, and the object ofthe invention is to deliver coins of a certain denomination into a paperroll, and to provide means -for holding said roll in position to receivethe coins, and to permit ready removal of the roll from said holdingmeans when the desired number of coins have been placed within the saidroll.

The invention consists of the novel features of construction hereinafterfully described, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View of the device inposition for use. Fig. 2 is a vertical section theret'hrough. Fig. 3 isa perspective view of the wrapper holder. Fig. 4 is a perspective Viewof the hopper. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the tray. Fig. 6 is aperspective View of a roller for forming the paper roll or wrapper.

In these drawings 1 represents a tray which may be of any shape and sizeand which is surrounded by a vertical wall 2, the tray and wall having aside extension 3. Within this extension the tray is provided with acircular opening, the marginal edge of which is recessed as shown at 4.This recessed edge forms a seat for a flange 5 of a hopper 6, so thatthe top of the hopper rests flush with the upper surface of the tray. Atits lower end the hopper carries a pin 7 which engages a bent slot 8formed in the upper end portion of a tube 9. The tube 9 is provided withan exterior annular flange 10 at its lower end to which is pivoted aclosure plate 11, adapted to swing in a hOllzontal plane about its pivotpoint, thus opening or closing the lower end of the tube. The tubes 9will be made of various diameters for the purpose of receiving coins ofvarious sizes, but the u per portlon of all the tubes are of thesame-s1ze so that all of them will engage the lower portion of thehopper.

as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the wrapper is folded or closed at the bottomand is inserted in the tube 9, the coins are placed in the tray and arethen pushed one at a time into the extension 3 thus passing through thehopper and into the wrapper 13. As soon as the desired number of coinshave been fed to the hopper the closure plate is swung into openposition and the wrapper will drop into the hand of the operator, andthe upper end is then folded, thus closing both ends of the paper roll.

lVhat I claim is 1. A device of the kind described comprising a trayhaving a continuous encircling flange. the said tray havin a lateralextension also iuclosed by said fl ange, said extension being providedwith a circular opening,

a hopper carried by said extension and in alineinentwith said opening,:1 depending tube detachably carried by the hopper and means fortemporarily closing the lower end of said tube.

2. A coin wrapper comprising a tray, and

a circular opening being formed in said tray, the marginal portions ofsaid opening being recessed, a hopper having a flange seating in saidmarginal recess, a tube, means for detachably locking said tube to thehopper, and means for closing the lower end of the tube. I

3. A device of the kind described comprising a tray having a verticalside wall,
